NAILS TO GEEK OUT OVER
By Niki Wyre
If you had told me a younger me that I would be rocking acrylic nails and looking forward to nail appointments at this age *cough cough*, I would of laughed myself silly. Heck even just last year I would of thought you were telling the funniest joke of the year. Yet here I am, thanks to the world’s most awesome nail artist (shout out to Nathan at La Bella Vita Salon and Day Spa , Palm Harbor Fl.) for making our geeky visions a reality. He really is a genius for turning this tomboy in to a proud nail wearing geek.
Of course there is a major learning curve as I never grew nails long before, so it was like I suddenly had an extra disability added on top of the ones I already struggle with (hence the not so pretty joints and swollen hands in pics). How the heck does one open a diet soda can (don’t worry it’s Zevia for my fellow Ketoers)? OMG I can’t grasp a nose stud. Wth? How do women use these things? Yep, all this time on earth as a female but asking the universe how do women do things? Socially awkward me.
As of writing this blog I started out with these awesome Wonder Woman inspired nails. I felt like a warrior goddess for a few weeks there.
Then he made these awesome Pacman with color appropriate ghosties happen. Seriously geeked out over them! 😀
Next up where these comic style inspired pop art nails. I absolutely loved the idea and he made the magic.
As of writing this I have these amazing Nightmare Before Christmas Jack Skellington nails. Not much can top it right? Hehe. We have ideas…
What’s next? Who knows? 😉 I’m sure something amazing but we never decide until my nails are naked and inspiration hits. One thing is for sure. We have epic geek conversations, and I have to get an interview of him for this blog.
I will update with new pics after next visit, so stay tuned.

P.S. Like I said, Nathan is awesome. You can follow him on his Instagram page here or on Facebook here. If you happen to be in Pinellas county, like me, drop by La Bella Vita Salon and Day Spa , Palm Harbor Fl. You will not be disappointed. I also get my beautiful hair done there *waves Hi Danielle* and would get everything done there if I had the money available. One day… 😉
